ALL INDIA IIT FACULTY ASSOCIATION OPPOSES ENTRANCE EXAM CHANGES THAT HRD MINSITRY IS TRYING TO IMPOSE ON IITS.. TIME FOR IIT ALUMNI FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO UNITE AND OPPOSE THIS MOVE WITH ALL OUR MIGHT.

“ a compromise formula which includes a proposal to take top 20% students based on percentile ranking of respective boards for preparing the merit list”

How meaningless is this solution ?. Higher education in India will become the domain of the school toppers and Children of affluent parents and we wonder why half a million students leave India to study undergraduate courses overseas. Children who will never return to a country that shunned them.

Is this is what we call inclusive in RTE ?.

God Save India

Inclusive education does not mean that everyone must enter, or pass out from, an IIT. It only means that if you wanted to, you could have a shot at it. The child labourer is excluded because she can never dream of entering an IIT; she may absolutely hate IIT, but not trying to join an IIT should be her decision. Even if there is only one IIT train, every child must have access to the platform where the train comes. Of course, not everyone will get on to the train but everyone knows what to do to have a shot at the train. This is called inclusion in education.Everyone must go to school till class 12; those who work hard, and are willing to work harder still, will join an IIT. Others will, by choice, decide not to work that hard and become economists.

All children are born equal and mindless politicians are trying to grade the children and youth of the nation and create a new Brahamanical Caste system in Education, which is pandering to the neo rich who can afford to send their children to elite private schools and Coaching schools.

Engineering education in India reserved for the Rich

Engineering Education in India reserved for the Rich
Arunachalam Muruganandam did not do well at school and would not have been allowed to sit for a common entrance exam to study engineering, even if he wanted to.
We as a nation seem to be obsessed with marks, awards and ranks and ignore the fact that every child is born with nothing in the hand except HOPE
Is it fair that the Government that should nurture students will in fact deny students an opportunity to a fair chance at higher education?

Dear Faculty, Students and Alumni of all IITs, Let us end our apathy. No more submission to an HRD Ministry that is destroying IITs slowly but surely.

First IITs autonomy was eroded, Second HRD began to appoint all IIT Directors to eliminate all dissent,Third 49% Reservation was forced on IITs that have always stood for Meritocracy, Fourth created ten more IITs overnight sans campus, sans faculty sans infrastructure only to get more votes at election time from masses who do not understand, Fifth and lastly, HRD now will scrap JEE and replace it with ISEET that will be controlled not by IITs but the HRD Ministry.

Let us end our apathy. No more submission to an HRD Ministry that is destroying IITs slowly but surely.Apathy can cause our moral collapse and destroy within us the Will to Fight for what we believe is Right
